Governor Fayemi confident of Ekiti United's promotion to NPFL

Dr. Kayode Fayemi reveals that Ekiti state government is leaving no stone unturned towards ensuring Ekiti United earn a Nigeria Professional Football League berth.

The beautiful game in Ekiti had been in a state of comatose; however, his election as governor has brought a glimmer of hope to the state football, thanks to his deliberate support of grassroots football – as well as the workings of football association boss, Bayo Lanlege.

For instance, the Land of Honour will be participating in the football event of the 2020 National Sports Festival – their maiden appearance since its creation in 1996.
